numerical signal strength can be
read. This is more accurate than
the bar indicator.
b. The person on the roof should turn
the Outside Antenna 45 degrees
at a time. Allow 30 seconds for the
phone to register with each turn.

c. The person inside should note the
readings on the phone with each
turn. Signal readings usually appear
as a negative number. The closer the
number gets to zero, the stronger the
signal (for example, -86 dB would be
a moderately good reading while -55
dB would be an excellent reading,
and -110 dB would be a weak, or
unusable signal).

d. Once you have determined which
direction provides the strongest
outside signal, you can install the
Outside Antenna in that general
direction.
2. Good methods:
a. Place calls from several locations
outside your building. As you move
to different locations, note where
you get the best reception.
b. If you have a smart phone, you
can download apps that help you
identify locations of cell phone
towers or the strongest signal. Go
to the App Store and search for
"cell signal" to find available apps
for your device.
3. Acceptable method: Check
the bar indicator on your cell
phone display and note where

(Note: cell phone bars are only
an approximation of signal
strength and vary from phone
to phone.) Phones can take up

reading. Be patient and repeat
your signal check several times.
WAIT 30
SECONDS
Maintain a vertical distance of at least
6m or a horizontal distance of at least
15m between the Outside Antenna to
the Inside Antenna.
If possible, place the Inside Antenna
directly beneath the placement of
the Outside Antenna location. This
creates a maximized signal zone
within the room where the Inside
Antenna is located.
Outside Directional
Antenna
Place the inside antenna
directly beneath the
placement of the Outside
Antenna location
At least 6m of vertical or 15m
horizontal separation
Inside Panel Antenna
Be sure the Inside Antenna is NOT
facing toward the Outside Antenna.
This creates potential oscillation
or feedback and reduces the
effectiveness of the WilsonPro A500-
3G/4G.
